If you're unsure of whether you want uncoated or coated paper, an easy way to decide is whether your project contains a lot of 4-colour images. If it does, we recommend choosing a heavier paper (60lb+) from our coated paper collection.
If you're still not sure, one of our Account Executives would be happy to discuss with you!
